FUNDING
We are grateful to the John Templeton Foundation (JTF) for the funding that supported in full or in part several facets of Berkeley’s work related to spirituality and public health:
- JTF supported the On the Viewscreen project that conducted the surveys and began preparation of the report that evolved into the forthcoming book Why Religion and Spirituality Matter for Public Health: Evidence, Implications, and Resources (Editor: Oman, in press, expected early 2018; to be published by Springer).
- JTF supported the Going National project that enabled completion of the book as well as the launching of a student essay competition and other initiatives;
- JTF is supporting the Next Generation project to provide training to public health students about the evidence base and public health implications of spiritual and religious factors.

Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world, has traditionally been revered as divine by the people of Sikkim. Because of this reverence, the first and subsequent mountaineering expeditions that climbed the peak stopped a few feet short of the summit
(see Kapadia, 2001, pp. 99-100).
